Chapter 519 Hand Over Hazel’s Recorder and I’ll Spare You

Chloe remained motionless, her extended eyelashes hiding the glint in her eyes as she let out a self-

deprecating chuckle. She knew that this was her own decision and that she would have to face the

consequences.

The day had been long and draining, leaving her utterly fatigued and unwilling to utter a word. She felt

tired. If she was asleep, she would not have to think about anything.

Fortunately, this was the final month. Soon, there would be a resolution. Yet, amid a fleeting moment of

relief, an even heavier burden settled upon Chloe’s heart.

Meanwhile, Joseph drove to the Whitman Group. His secretary gave him the enterprise project plans

for the latter half of the year. To his surprise, he saw Edgar’s office among the applications. He found it

hard to believe that Edgar still had the nerve to apply for a project. with the Whitman Group.

Joseph’s anger surged, and he grabbed a pen, forcefully crossing out Edgar’s name and inadvertently

tearing the paper in the process.

“Notify everyone that the Whitman Group will no longer engage in any business with Edgar Cottrell,” he

ordered, “Any companies currently collaborating with him will no longer have any opportunities with us

as well.”

The secretary was taken aback. It was evident that Joseph was determined to cut off all ties with

Edgar. From this moment on, nobody in Docwood would help or work with the Cottrells any longer.

Joseph looked at the secretary and said, “Understand?”

“Yes, Mr. Joseph. I’ll take care of it right away,” the secretary hurriedly replied.

Within just a few hours, Edgar’s company received numerous contract cancellations. All of its

employees were now facing unemployment, and the company was forced to dissolve.

As Edgar witnessed the chaotic scene in his company, he trembled and collapsed to the floor. He could

not fathom how Joseph could be so merciless. Making him lose billions was not enough. Joseph

wanted to push him to the brink of destruction.

Refusing to accept this dire outcome, Edgar resolved to go to the Whitman Group and demand an

explanation. However, fate had other plans for him. On his way there, he collided with an oncoming

truck. Though he did not die instantly, the ambulance crew issued a critical condition notice.

Joseph received this news while he was at Gabriel’s villa.

As Samuel enjoyed his salmon, he chuckled. “Well, karma is truly a bitch.”

Over Hazels Recorder and I Spare You

As a lawyer, he had taken on many morally ambiguous cases. He felt the need to visit the church,

confess his sins, and seek forgiveness. He dreaded meeting a fate similar to Edgar’s.

“Is it just a coincidence or is there something more?” Nathan asked, finding it eerie. “Two car accidents

involving the same family within one day. It’s too strange.”

Swirling his highball, Joseph replied calmly, “It’s a coincidence.”

Perhaps it was merely the result of their own actions catching up with them.

“Damn it. That shameless Victor is calling me,” Samuel cursed.

Just as he was about to hang up, Joseph interrupted, “Answer it.”

Samuel hesitated for a moment before answering.

“Tell Joseph that he’s maliciously monopolizing the market and that my father got into a car accident

while on his way to confront him. Moreover, concerning Hazel’s death, he has to provide us with proper

compensation. Otherwise, we’ll escalate the matter and ensure he loses the projects that Docwood City

Council will grant at the end of the year!”

The projects granted by Docwood’s city council adhered to strict requirements, and companies

entangled in public controversies were strictly forbidden from participation. It had to be admitted that

Victor was a little smarter than his father.

“Send over Hazel’s voice recorder, and I may consider sparing your family,” Joseph responded coldly.

“The voice recorder is with the police, so why are you asking me for it? Besides, there’s

nothing on it,” Victor retorted impatiently, and his tone made it clear that he was not lying.
